NeoGAF user VideoMan discovered currently unannounced games on Hudson's website, including a multiplatform downloadable Bonk update, a Bomberman Live sequel, and a Wii/DS version of Big Fish Games' generically titled Rooms: The Main Building. Most of the pages have been removed, but Bonk is still up, and VideoMan saved the screenshots and product descriptions.

Bonk: Brink of Extinction is a WiiWare/PSN/Xbox Live Arcade 2.5D action platformer with online co-op (!) and eight different transformations. The 3D makeover the game has received is ... suboptimal, and the Adventure Island refresh wasn't great, but we can't help but be thrilled about the return of the Turbografx-16's mascot. It'll apparently be out first on XBLA in spring 2010.

Bomberman Live Battlefest is also coming to all three console download services, and adds new arenas, gametypes, and team play to, well, Bomberman. And Rooms: The Main Building seems to be a Wii/DS retail game, based on the PC slide-puzzle adventure.

We're contacting Hudson to learn what we can about the company's plans for these unannounced games.

That screen shot looks really good.

I can't wait to see what the online co-op has to offer.

like any other 2.5D remake, the key question will be control

otherwise, this looks like a winner

I have a feeling it won't be as good as we all hope it will be, but I'm looking forward to this.

I wonder how they'll get Bonk's Spinning Headbutt (aka Turbo function) to work on the Wiimote.

The way Bonk looks, it appears like he will control kind of sluggish. I don't know why I think that, but it just seems he will have a delayed response.

Kinda off topic. Does anyone know if the original Bomberman on xbla still get a lot of online playas?

It's a graveyard. Pretty hard to get a game going.

Seeing Bonk possibly be getting a new game is rather shocking... I thought he was done for sure. This is really cool. :) Wish the characters were bigger... unless...

All the previous Bonk games play kinda sluggish. But they are still awesome. Is this a whole new Bonk game? Hopefully they remake Bonk's Revenge. Loved that game. And is it made by Hudson?
